Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

Going Dark
I had a conversation with a friend last night and it reminded me of a pattern of behavior from other people around me. I was letting my friend know that I may not be very responsive in the next several days because of situations that I am dealing with in my life and they responded with the understanding that I am a busy person.

Are you just sad or could you be experiencing depression?
What is the difference between sadness and depression? Sadness is a normal and inevitable human emotion, while depression is a serious mental health condition that requires attention and treatment. Although both can share some signs, such as feelings of despondency and melancholy, the differences between sadness and depression are profound and essential to understand, especially to avoid misdiagnosis or neglecting professional help.

Why People Fail Us Under Pressure
Life has a way of presenting challenges that reveal the true nature of those around us. These moments, often unexpected and deeply personal, can leave us feeling isolated, questioning why people we trust seem to step away when we need them the most. The hurt that accompanies such disappointments isn’t just about the absence of support; it’s about the breaking of unspoken promises, the betrayal of shared bonds.

DARVO: When Abusers Rewrite the Script
A while ago, I wrote a detailed piece on DARVO (“Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender”), a manipulative tactic often employed by abusers to evade accountability. You can read about it in my previous article, exploring how these patterns manifest in everyday situations. In this article, we’ll take a deeper look at how DARVO impacts survivors and perpetuates cycles of abuse.

Whispers of the Willow Tree
At the edge of a small, sleepy town called Elmwood, there stood a grand old willow tree, its branches cascading like a waterfall of emerald ribbons. It had been there for generations, a silent witness to the lives of those who lived around it. Children laughed and played beneath its sweeping boughs, couples carved their initials into its sturdy trunk, and elders shared stories of love and loss in its shade.

Freedom Awaits When You Release Yesterday
Life has a way of teaching us through experience—some moments beautiful, others challenging. And yet, for so many of us, the weight of those challenging moments can linger far longer than we’d like. It’s as if our past becomes a shadow, following us wherever we go. But here’s the truth: that shadow only has power when we keep looking back at it.

I Want to Kill My Feelings, and You?
Sadness, anger, feeling lost, and others—emotions I wish I could kill one day. There’s no enemy more deadly than them. They burn you from the inside, leaving no evidence to incriminate them. No one even notices, and there’s no chance for anyone to save you. Who’s going to save you from your own feelings anyway? That’s just foolish.

Help, DARVO!
When abuse is inflicted, the pain is not only physical or emotional — it seeps into the mind, warping one’s sense of self, perception of reality, and trust in the world. DARVO, a manipulative tactic identified by Dr. Jennifer Freyd, stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. This psychological maneuver is a common tool used by abusers to maintain control, shift blame, and avoid accountability.

Mom, They Won’t Let Me in.
I was eleven when I first fell in love with church music. The choir’s voices seemed to float effortlessly, each note was a prayer that soared straight to the heavens. I admired their precision, harmony, and the way their hymns filled the cavernous space with something divine. I wanted to be part of it. Not just to sing but to belong.
